    I have to say I'm quite pleased with it. The ability to see what your image is going to look like before you take it is quite rewarding. Additionally the Ziess optics are spectacular.

    I just wanted to point out that you are an ass hole for wanting to make Richard Stallman cry.

You are an Ass Hole and are not funny.

    Can you print tiny Roms or magnetic strips? Enh? Enh? Didn't think so. Ok posibly you can but some one just geting into programing for the game boy probably dosn't have a rom writer or a magnetic strip writer (and definetly dosn't have a magnetic strip reader for thier gameboy). Don't kick this for no reason it's neat and fun and if it turns more people on to programing then good for them. If not, atleast some game boy programers can share there games more easly.

  15. Re:These stories are teases. on Mars Terraforming Debate · · Score: 1

    Damit, we can fix the ozone. Some time back I posted a rather badly spelt post about solar chimneies (I can't spell I have disgrapia).

    A solar chimney is esentaly a realy large green house with a chimeny to let warm air out. We would be able to build theis in any desart converting sand to glass with the enrgy that is produced from our intal litle solar chimney. Onec we have huge solar chimneis with bases the size of cities and chimneis that reach the ozone lair then we can start to us exes enrgy to creat ozone. We'd place large "Spark Plugs" (some sort of arc generating devices) at the top of the towers and tada. Ozone fixed.

    Now on a compleatly difrent note. Wouldn't it be a lot easyer to nuke of a chunk of venus's atmo and then send in gengeneired alge/micobes to do remaining atmo conversion.

    i find that you have made the most logical point on this subject in ages. So meany people jump to conclusions based on what is easly visible to them. I for one know that all the people who I know that have dial up only log on onec in a while and normaly then it is to check their email. I'd say that less than half the people I know that live near me have up to date systems with dsl or cable conection. Out of these people only 2 house holds use linux. All the other people are using XP since it came with there bran new computers that they "had to get so that high speed would work"(That's what a dsl tech suport person told my brother whene he wanted high speed). It's these alwase on people that use google all the time.

    People can't just say that since lots of google hits are from XP than most people use XP.

    Right on dude.
